Lyrics
Start
Intro
Digital playgrounds made of glass
Silicon dreams that never last
Corporate culture wearing masks
While the soul of work collapses
Verse 1
Startup fantasy, a tech mirage
Open floor plans, just a camouflage
Free kombucha on tap for your thoughts
Meditation rooms where ideas are bought
They say "we're family" with hollow eyes
As they track your bathroom time with lies
Motivational posters on sterile walls
While creativity slowly falls
Pre-Chorus
Plastic plants and empty promises
Free beer for your consciousness[Chorus]
Corporate zombies in glass boxes
Free snacks and arcade games
Pretending that we're having fun
While the algorithms run
Post-Chorus
La-la-la, la-la (hey)
La-la-la, la-la (yeah)
Verse 2
Ping pong tables collecting dust
Forced fun for quarterly trust
Beanbag chairs and neon signs
Working late to feed the bottom lines
They sell your data while you play
The foosball keeps the truth at bay
Digital chains, invisible walls
While the CEO makes all the calls
Pre-Chorus
Plastic plants and empty promises
Free beer for your consciousness
Chorus
Corporate zombies in glass boxes
Free snacks and arcade games
Pretending that we're having fun
While the algorithms run
Post-Chorus
La-la-la, la-la (hey)
La-la-la, la-la (yeah)[Bridge]
Digital overlords with friendly smiles
Tracking every click, each tap, each file
Silicon Valley's grand illusion show
Where your mental health is currency to grow
(Just another cog, just another wheel)
(In the machine that never stops)
Verse 3
Standing desks and wellness programs
Just to keep you coding till dawn
Free t-shirts with catchy slogans
While they sell your soul upon the lawn
Virtual happy hours, team building games
Everyone pretends to know your name
But the system's rigged from the start
As they gamify your breaking heart
Chorus
Corporate zombies in glass boxes
Free snacks and arcade games
Pretending that we're having fun
While the algorithms run
Outro
The table tennis echo fades away
As we power down at the end of day
Digital playgrounds turn to dust
In the empty office no one trusts
(La-la-la, la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la, yeah)
End
